Come on now B, all of us don't have the same goals. I am not going to compete with you for strongman (which you'll win, of course). At 6', 210 I want to be strong, cut and symmetrical.
I understand that...but if you spend all of your time, or a lot of it anyway, focusing on being cut and symmetrical...you will never have the size needed to do well in bodybuilding...
People ask me all the time how I have gained my OVERALL thickness. Not just big pecs, shoulder, etc...but OVERALL thickness. I have always done heavy compound movements...movements which make EVERYTHING grow...
I'm all for the major compound movements. As an army guy I'm required to run so much and keep my weight around 200 for my height. So it won't be until after I hang up the boots for good that I'll go huge. I can retire in 3 yrs, and if I do, I'm looking to grow up to about 240!
